I love historic places but I think it’s time for the Lakeside Inn to give itself some attention. The Bathrooms are great. The mattresses are fine. The furniture carpet and bed coverings could use some updates. Also we were in the main building and had terrible wifi. No plugs near the bed. Just a few updates would be great!

If you love antique stuff and history you’ll love this place. Super cute, and it’s well maintained. My only let down is that there was no availability for breakfast the morning that I was there. But At least I sat down in the porch and enjoyed my coffee with the view.

Great location in Mt Dora and beautiful views. One thing that would be great though is that if we could open the windows so we get to have a fresh air inside the room. Small refrigerator would be nice to have in the room also.

The stay at the Inn was peaceful and quaint. The staff was very helpful in suggesting places to visit and eat (other than at the Inn, which had nice dining facilities). Heads up though - there isn’t an elevator, so luggage has to be carried up one flight of stairs.

Going to Mount Dora, this place is a must stay. It's a historic hotel so keep that in mind. The toilet is really small and the bathroom is that of a Hotel built in the last century. It all adds to the charm of this beautiful and historic place. Only bad thing I would say is that they should invest in better beds. The place is beautiful, unique, authentic, and definitely the place you want to stay at if you are visiting Mount Dora for the first time. The restaurant was very good and the staff was extremely nice and helpful.

There aren't many options in the area for nice hotels, but if this hotel was upgraded inside, it would be a knockout given the location. We 'roughed it' just to be lakeside and within walking distance to the shoppes and restaurants but holy cow. The bathroom had black mold on the ceilings due to lack of ventilation, the carpets look original to the hotel. Bedding was in rough shape. Lighting, fixtures, windows, gosh everything was in poor shape. They have an amazing opportunity with their pool location, although it's not heated and thus not usable most of the year. The have great outdoor terrace seating for dining and drinks and what could be a great lobby once renovated. I really hope the get funding to turn this place into a gem as Mt Dora is an exceptional little town to visit in Florida and they stuck good with their location. 5 star location, 1 star hotel.
